• I needed a way to move hand written and printed recipes to Paprika, this simple app facilitates that using pyTesseract and OpenAI GPT-4-Turbo
• As an added bonus, it fills in (guesses) some missing information like prep time, cooking time, servings, keywords, OCR failures, author details etc.

Install and execute

git clone https://github.com/referefref/AIOCRRecipeConvertor.git
cd AIOCRRecipeConvertor
apt install tesseract
pip install -r requirements.txt
echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY = "YOURKEYHERE"' >  .env
python3 aiocrrecipecon.py
# Server runs on port 5000

Todo
